Republican Congressman Brandon Gill let us know how he really feels about Rep. Ilhan Omar after a video was shared of her hosting workshops in Minneapolis to assist illegal immigrants from Somalia avoid deportation under President Donald Trump’s new policies.
He posted to X calling for the squad member to be deported in order to made America a better place. Gill wrote, “America would be a better place if @IlhanMN were deported back to Somalia.” He later added, “We should have never let Ilhan Omar into our country.”
I can’t say I disagree. She has been a thorn in the side of liberty since day 1.

The workshops, which took place in Omar’s home district, were designed to inform illegal Somali migrants on how to avoid enforcement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Omar, the first Somali-American to serve in Congress, described what migrants should do if they are questioned by ICE agents, advising those whose documentation had “lapsed” or who are “undocumented” to take precautionary steps.
“You are not obligated to answer their questions. Just state that your are advised by a lawyer not to answer questions,” Omar said in the video. “Disclosure of your name, immigration status, and the mode of entry is not mandatory. Learn the laws and prepare yourself and refrain from disclosing information that you prefer them not to know.”
“Representative Omar’s conduct raises questions about to whom she is most loyal- the American people or illegal aliens from Somalia,” a spokesperson from Gill’s team told The Hill. “Representative Gill simply stated that it is disgraceful for a sitting Congresswoman and US citizen to facilitate the invasion of our country by illegal alien Somalis.”
DOGE leader Elon Musk also responded to the video “She is breaking the law. Literally. Outright.”
Other social media users showed their clear distaste of the video as well. “How is this even legal for a sitting member of Congress to advise people on how to break our laws?” one user asked.
Another replied, “She’s not loyal to America. She’s trying to keep illegals here who are not loyal to America. Please deport her.”
Some questioned if Omar’s actions were legal or not. “Does it violate immigration or any laws for a sitting Congresswoman to give advice to illegal immigrants on how to avoid deportation?”
